Butter, Shaken not Churned
If you’re here to enter the MyBlogSpark giveaway I’m hosting click here.
Yes, shaking is technically churning. Work with me people, it’s a cute title.
I’m a tiny bit addicted to Pinterest. I surf the pins for ideas almost daily. It’s easy since there’s an App for that!
Gotta love the iPhone!
I re-pinned a pin about making your own butter earlier this week (or maybe it was last week)….anyhoo
I made my own butter.
Take 1 mason jar (small)
Fill a jar with Heavy cream.
pour heavy cream into the jar
I filled the jar about half way up
a pinch of salt, cuz that's how I roll.
Start shaking! The cream will begin to thicken.
Keep shaking…
You’ll shake and shake and shake some more, then all of the sudden the noises will change again (about 12-15 minutes into shaking)
Now all of the sudden…
butter....
place the butter into a container and place it into the fridge
pour the liquid into a glass.....
This is the best buttermilk you’ll ever drink.

I love pinterest too. I can’t stop looking at it
Fabulous .- bet your arms ached at the end of all that shaking!
Oh we just got on pinterest!
It’s so much fun!!
Next time I have leftover heavy cream, I’m making butter!
I love making butter, when we have real milk we make butter every week.. love the jar! c
love this! Not that I need more butter around here, but I may need to try this for the sake of saying I made my own butter. Would be interesting to see if there is a taste difference either. Thanks for sharing

Never knew you could make butter this way, how fabulous. Plus I won’t feel guilty eating that butter because of all that arm work 🙂
